(My friend, Tracy, came up to help me out.)<br />
<br />
It was great to meet many of the other Etsy sellers from Alberta in person!<br />

After that, it was back to Lloyd with some major press coverage resulting<br />
from winning the Arts Without Borders Bursary!<br />
<br />
There was coverage on the news from the Quick Draw/Mayor's Celebration of the Arts.<br />
There were four artists there - Janet Magdanz (a potter & leader in the Lloyd Pottery Guild), Graham Flatt (internationally recognized watercolour artist), Cindy Sorley-Keichinger (internationally known wildlife artist) and myself. I was in good company!<br />

So, I've been getting a lot of attention.<br />
Time to get to work and create!!<br />
<br />
Here are some of my latest.<br />
<br />
This is a new style of Mommy Bling, designed in conjunction with Rhonda Friesen:<br />
<br />

I taught all of Rhonda's kids, so she wanted me to use my own handwriting<br />
instead of stamps for a more personal touch.<br />
She also chose a cupped pendant with the birthstones and a floating heart<br />
to compliment the name pendant.<br />
I really like it.<br />

Wow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What an exciting week!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It started a month ago with the commission & creation of three very special pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW6efHusVf3vZeKQGg3_DqGhc9KzKBinLcnK2fng1PbBlf3pLnrIJOXTX_87J24BTE6XdfeSCW43VGnEJXbai3KxF8h4q-rcm510XE7A4wZWISCvlEknbilYatmoGRRNfFZ8Mv_Q/s1600/12-041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW6efHusVf3vZeKQGg3_DqGhc9KzKBinLcnK2fng1PbBlf3pLnrIJOXTX_87J24BTE6XdfeSCW43VGnEJXbai3KxF8h4q-rcm510XE7A4wZWISCvlEknbilYatmoGRRNfFZ8Mv_Q/s320/12-041.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one was commissioned by the Arts Without Borders Society </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to give to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Janet Magdanz </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for her participation in the Quick Draw. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It says "Follow your bliss" and has a piece of pottery on the bottom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colours of the metal and lamp work bead are meant to be earthy like the clay Janet works with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that pottery is Janet's bliss...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other two commissions were for Lloydminster Reads.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixHMdHjThaj4gmhiqKVGUwCX06wIg03ujH2lfu5pJ7teH-Mrv3vFH1t_XmzXKkzMQmkv4m487eMPmej2zj0rCuh7VOrb4FuwNCgYmdRpZ9rUML7JKVqAs-Tx7U4KHM5V697UufmQ/s1600/Lloydminster+Reads+commission1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixHMdHjThaj4gmhiqKVGUwCX06wIg03ujH2lfu5pJ7teH-Mrv3vFH1t_XmzXKkzMQmkv4m487eMPmej2zj0rCuh7VOrb4FuwNCgYmdRpZ9rUML7JKVqAs-Tx7U4KHM5V697UufmQ/s320/Lloydminster+Reads+commission1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is for author, Lynn Coady. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her novel, The Antagonist, will be discussed at Lloydminster Reads with Lynn tonight at the Vic Juba.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to make a piece that celebrated both her novel and Lloydminster Reads, but I didn't want it to be something she wouldn't wear because it was dated or stamped with the event. It had to be pretty and functional. Eventually, after much sketching and thinking, I came up with the idea of a pendant that opened like a book to reveal the cover of The Antagonist and a "page" stamped with "Lloydminster Reads". These are secret pages that only Lynn will know about unless she shows others. I put it on leather for a Boho style. I wanted it to be 100% handmade, so I also made the clasp in sterling silver. It was the first time I'd ever attempted a hinged design. I sure hope Lynn likes it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After completing Lynn's, I decided to stick to the same theme for Margaret Lonsdale, the facilitator for the evening. Her "pages" say "facilitator 2012" and "Lloydminster Reads".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the commissions were done, the events began!</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">FAQ's - Why make stamped jewelry? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Isn't it "cookie cutter" art? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Isn't it repetitive & boring? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Isn't there so much of it out there already?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">No.</div><div style="text-align: center;">No.</div><div style="text-align: center;">No.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And yes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/74929562/single-mommy-bling-personalized-necklace" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh730besntkit15ChbEdTdgH-xO-Byd7L8O0CgoEuyaJNveFSg6KaDjWu0ASh9JSF1culBS5NeXJtuAUwVsn8A9VnWb9QoqFg6ERC3EdqO8c4GAvlGr2mp33rXZ4khAjukQdawRzQ/s320/11-065connor.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/74929562/single-mommy-bling-personalized-necklace" target="_blank">Single Mommy Bling necklace - $85.00</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I make personalized jewelry, especially my Mommy Bling line, because it has meaning to the wearer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It started with a baby shower present for my friend.</div><div style="text-align: center;">When she saw it, she had tears in her eyes.</div><div style="text-align: center;">That did it for me.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm a classic "people pleaser". She loved it, so it made sense that others would, too.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I live for positive feedback!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So... whether I'm making a Mommy Bling necklace, bridesmaid jewelry, </div><div style="text-align: center;">flower girl jewelry or remembrance jewelry, </div><div style="text-align: center;">the piece will <i>mean</i> something to the person who will wear it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Therefore, I make each piece with care.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I treat every one as if it were mine.</div><div style="text-align: center;">A lot of effort goes into each one.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">There are a <i>lot</i> of stamped jewelry artisans out there. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Most use pre-made sterling blanks. </div><div style="text-align: center;">These are usually at the thickest, 20 gauge pieces (.02 mm) of 92.5% silver. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mine are handcrafted 99% silver 3-4 mm thick pendants. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't just stamp something I buy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Let me share the process of making them with you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It all starts with silver clay.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Silver clay is made of tiny bits of silver (sometimes recycled from x-rays) imbedded in a glue binder. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtUWmnFkWcegAR0CkKB-thoddMqGh4YJZ357neyTu68WFi567Mw-wFUtWe6w-IHYu15TD996vyGf28pMW5qHzdyoBIQtpTg9yHdVdigqLVxDWAkg29LDXAXy9JCOcG6dTdm3355g/s1600/silver+clay+package.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtUWmnFkWcegAR0CkKB-thoddMqGh4YJZ357neyTu68WFi567Mw-wFUtWe6w-IHYu15TD996vyGf28pMW5qHzdyoBIQtpTg9yHdVdigqLVxDWAkg29LDXAXy9JCOcG6dTdm3355g/s320/silver+clay+package.jpg" width="289" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It looks like clay.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It dries way faster.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You can create any shape you want... </div><div style="text-align: center;"> I use a circle template most often for my Mommy Bling pendants. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I roll out the clay onto texture plates.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> The heart leaf is the most popular one. Moms like it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It suits the rustic look of the pendants.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And it's strong.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I buy it by the foot, so I can make a necklace any length you want.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The sterling lobster clasp can be hooked to any of the larger links, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">so the customer can wear their necklace short or long to suit their outfit that day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The chain length I use is typically 20" for the single pendant and 22" for the double and triple pendants. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I always add a bonus natural stone at the end of the chain. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's just a nice detail.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One last FAQ:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Can't I get a stamped necklace for a lot cheaper from other jewelry artisans?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sure you can! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But would you want to?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
